3 Days Post-Op!

Hello everyone :) today I'm 3 days post-op. I'm still just a little sore, but I'm feeling much better! I've been sipping liquids every day & I haven't had any hunger at all. V8 is something I've been drinking a lot of. If any of you have never had V8 you should try it! :) I have veggie & fruit kinds. The Original Veggie kind really keeps you full because it's as thick as soup. Anyways, 3 of my incisions aren't hurting at all & haven't since surgery.. it's the big incision for the actual Band and the incision where the port is located that are hurting a little. But the pain isn't anything I can't handle & it will all be well worth it. I'm having a little trouble with my lungs, because I know they are full of junk from the anesthesia, but I can't exactly cough yet because of the pain. I've been doing my best to get it all up because I do NOT want to get any sicker! But I have been using my breathing tool a lot and that seems to help. I'm using one of those foam wedges to sleep on at night to keep me elevated because of the discomfort of laying flat on my back. That helps a lot. I'm thinking some time this week I will be out & about as usual :) .. also, a little off subject but today is exactly 1 month from my college move-in date at my apartment! I have 1 month to get in the groove of my LapBand & to get everything packed up & headed out of town! :) I'm so excited about all these changes and I hope you will all keep up with me along my journey! :) anyways, I'm going to walk around a little more. Talk to you all soon.

xoxo

LAP-BAND Patients

good luck to you; i am 7 months post band and i love to read these stories so i always remember what the beginning was like and how hard i worked to get to where i am today. sounds like you r healing well and on the right track. good luck on your journey. if you need any advice or have any questions, maybe my 7 months experience can offer you some support. good luck Roseann from New Jersey; as hard as it is to cough, it is so important. i would take a few deep breathes, put a pillow on my stomach and get that cough out even though it hurt.
